The River's Bend is the journey of a small town Wisconsin girl

who reads her way through her bedridden childhood illness during

the Depression;gets "discovered" on the train to California while

visiting the man she loves; and detours to post-war New York where she

becomes a successful model. It is her story about her

relationship with Jack Kennedy, fresh off the PT boat and a political

neophyte; her husband, her children, her grandchildren.

With an underlying sense of humor, Jayne shares intimate

memories of a life that spans major world upheavals and powerful

underlying social forces, as she navigates her own personal journey. It

is a story that, ultimately, we all relate to: love found, love lost and

love found again.
